Forever Since Breakfast

Guided by Voices

Clean, shimmering jangle pop from a time before the hiss. Seven tracks of melodic Midwestern rock that sound like a bridge between R.E.M. and The Beatles.

The secret GBV record where they actually sound like a professional 80s college rock band.

A bright, melodic earnestness tinged with the quiet melancholy of the American Midwest.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The crystalline guitar chime that opens Land of Danger, signaling a polish the band would later abandon.
The earnest, multi-tracked vocal harmonies on Fountain of Youth that evoke 60s pop through a 1980s lens.
The driving, melodic bassline in Let's Ride that provides a propulsive backbone to the EP's jangle.
